When Lust shoved the money at him, Wrath actually just blinked, staring at it like he had no idea what it was.
"... I-.... I don't want your money!" he stammered after a second.
The very concept of money was so foreign to him that he had no personal investment in it (even if Ralph's warning that he'd need it here occasionally surfaced in the back of his mind)-- all the stealing he'd done tonight had been for one thing and one thing only: to prove to his NEW team that he could be useful.
It didn't occur to him that Lust might REASONABLY ASSUME that he was stealing out of desperation to stay fed or something, so he just stared up at her in total confusion, not daring to reach out and take the wad of bills.
HE HADN'T TRIED TO PICK HER POCKETS TONIGHT FOR A REASON. He was scared it might backfire. He was scared any face-to-face confrontation with her might backfire, although he hadn't done a very good job of avoiding those tonight.
As for Pipsqueak, there was no sign of him-- he was probably inside somewhere, maybe even in the coatroom where Wrath had been caught by the guards.
